Gou Jian's eyes lit up, and he knew that he, the supreme strategist, must have a ghost idea in his heart, so he signaled to hurry up and continue. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fa Zheng stroked his short beard lightly, and said unhurriedly in a proud tone: "The king pretended to agree to the proposal of the pottery thief, so that the pottery thief can rest assured and bold, and go all out to attack the Qin State, and the Qin State has the risk of Tongguan Sanguan, that Cao Cao is very good at using troops, and the strength is far better than Sun Wu, and the minister expects that the pottery thief will eventually lose and return, and the Qin State will inevitably suffer heavy losses and suffer great damage to the vitality in order to deal with the attack of the Wei State. ”

Fa Zhengyang's words suddenly lifted Gou Jian's spirits, as if in an instant, he saw an incomparably bright future.

Then, Huang Quan came up and echoed: "What Fa Xiaozhi said is extremely true, at that time, we were all in the hands of my Dashu, if the pottery thief came to attack again, we would have nothing to fear, when the king was in the land of Qinyi, he could repeat the old things of Gaozu, why worry about not rejuvenating the Han Dynasty and achieving the great cause of Emperor Guangwu!" ”

Huang Quan's words exploded Gou Jian's ambition, which made him confident for a while, and he couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Gou Jian sneered: "Very good, this king will follow the plan of the two of you, and now go to inform Su Qin, pretend to promise to join forces, and then sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, watch the potter and Cao Cao's two dogs, and when the fight is lost, this king will go down the mountain to pick peaches." ”

Fa Zheng also smiled, but said: "The king wants to pretend to agree to the alliance of the potters, but he should not stand still, but should take this opportunity to lead the army south to completely pacify the hidden danger of Mengshu in Nanzhong." ”

Meng Huo's hidden dangers.

Gou Jian's eyes moved, and his thoughts instantly flew to the seven counties of Nanzhong.

The seven counties have always been the weak point of his rule, and the leader of the Southern Barbarians, Meng Shu, although he nominally respects him as the master, has always been in line with yin and yang, and Gou Jian has always wanted to get rid of this hidden danger, but he has never been able to pull it out.

Fa Zheng's voice fell, and Huang Quan also suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "King, there have been rumors in the Nanzhong counties recently, saying that Meng Shu has secretly colluded with Cao Cao, and was named the king of Nanzhong by Cao Cao, and intends to wait for Cao Cao to invade my Dashu to raise troops to respond, we should indeed take the lead in the first move, not only to get rid of the hidden dangers in the south, but also to get the Nanban Dingkou, in order to enrich my Great Shu Kingdom, this is to kill two birds with one stone." ”

Gou Jian was deeply moved, his eyes were burning with the flame of greed and excitement, he jumped up, and paced in the hall with his hands in his hands, his thoughts tumbling like a tide, weighing the pros and cons.

After a while, Gou Jian stopped, and when he turned around, his eyes were filled with a cold smile.

……

The next day, Gou Jian hosted Su Qin again and expressed his intention to join forces with Su Qin.

Of course, Su Qin was very pleased, and praised Gou Jian "Wise Shenwu" and the like, and the atmosphere between the two sides was extremely harmonious, as if they were already like a family.

After receiving Gou Jian's affirmative reply, Su Qin left Chengdu with the generous gift given to him by Gou Jian, and embarked on the road back to Wei.

This time, Su Qin did not delay for half a day, and after crossing the border of Badong County, he took a boat all the way down the river to the east to reach the southern capital Jianye.

The journey was smooth, and within a few days, Su Qin returned to Jianye.

The potter had been waiting in the southern capital for a long time, and when he heard that Su Qin had returned, he personally went to Niuzhu Wharf to welcome him back.

After the lord and the ministers met, Su Qin reported the experience of the envoy to the potter in public, and told the potter that Gou Jian was willing to join forces.

In front of everyone, the potter was naturally very pleased, praised Gou Jian's knowledge of the times, and rewarded Su Qin to reward him for his success in the mission, and made great contributions.

In the evening of the same day, the pottery merchant set up a big banquet in the palace of King Wu, thinking that Su Qin would catch the wind, and discussed with the ministers in public the plan to destroy Qin.

After a superficial play, the banquet was dispersed, and the potter kept Su Qin, Zhang Liang and several other confidants and ministers.

The doors of the temple were closed, and there was no one else in the temple.

The look of joy on the potter's face converged, and a few cold smirks appeared in his eyebrows, and his eyes looked at Su Qin, "How about it, Su Qing's plan, has it worked?" ”

Su Qin drank the wine in the cup, and a confident sneer appeared on his face, and he said unhurriedly: "Shuzhong has been circulating everywhere that the Nanban leader Meng Shu will join forces with Cao Cao to deal with Liu Zhang. ”

The potter smiled.

What Su Qin said was exactly what he wanted to see.

There is Badong County in the east of Shu, and its governance is to restore the city, according to the danger of guarding the Three Gorges, it is the gateway to the east of Shu, and the potters want to destroy the Shu country, and it is necessary to break the fish and restore the city first.

However, there is the danger of the Three Gorges in this Yufu City, once the pottery merchants sent troops to attack Shu, Gou Jian prepared in advance, tens of thousands of elite soldiers under the Yufu line, according to the dangerous pass, then even if the pottery merchants have millions of soldiers, it is extremely difficult to break through the city.

Therefore, Su Qin's plan was to make Gou Jian mistakenly think that the pottery merchant wanted to unite with him to deal with Cao Cao, but he took the opportunity to pacify Meng Shu.

In this way, when Gou Jian transferred his main army to the seven counties of Nanzhong, the potters could take advantage of their unpreparedness and take the fish belly city with surprise troops, opening the door to Shu in one fell swoop.

Listening to Su Qin's words, it was obvious that the success of his plan was in sight, and the pottery merchant could not be happy.

"King, the first step has been completed, and the second step should be implemented next, so that Liu Zhang will be fooled completely." Zhang Liang on the side shook his feather fan and said with a smile.

The potter laughed, waved his hand, and said happily: "Pass the order, the whole army will set off and go straight to Jingzhou!" “

The order was handed down, and two days later, more than 100,000 Wei troops stationed on the front line of Jianye set off one after another, marching west along the Yangtze River and heading straight for Jingzhou.

Of course, the banner played by the potters was naturally to raise the army of the country and go to destroy Qin.

After the 90,000 troops of the former army entered Jingzhou, they immediately went north from Jingzhou and began to drive to the boundary of Nanyang, posing as if they would enter Guanzhong from Wuguan.

At the time of the advance of the army, the troops located in Nanyang and Luoyang, as well as the front line of Hedong, also under the command of Zhou Yafu, launched a feint attack on the three passes in the east of the Qin State.

The intention of the potter to do this, of course, was not to really attack the Qin State, but to try to make this feint attack on the Qin State as realistic as possible, otherwise how could he cover Gou Jian.

Sure enough, Gou Jian hit the plan.

Soon after the main army of 90,000 potters went north from Jingzhou, Gou Jian was convinced that the potters would attack Qin, and immediately mobilized 60,000 Shu troops from Chengdu to the south and went straight to the seven counties in Nanzhong.

The time the potters had been waiting for had finally arrived.

When Gou Jian led the army to conquer Nanzhong, the pottery merchant led more than 20,000 Chinese troops to the Xiakou line, and posed that he would go north along the Han River to Xiangyang.

After hearing the news of Gou Jian's southern expedition, the pottery merchant knew that Su Qin's strategy had worked, and now it was time to show his spear and take advantage of Gou Jian's unpreparedness to raid Yufu in one go.

The potter immediately sent an order and ordered the 20,000 Chinese army to immediately change direction, quickly trace the west of the river in a light boat, and go straight to Padang County.

At the same time, the potters issued an urgent edict, ordering Zhou Yafu and other Central Plains troops to stop the feint attack on Qin, and ordered more than 90,000 main forces of the front army and tens of thousands of rear troops to immediately change their routes and assemble in the direction of Badong County under the stars and nights.

The potters traveled against the current, and within a few days, they led their army to Yiling City, which was closest to the Repeat City.

After passing Yiling City, you will enter the Three Gorges area, Yiling City guards the exit of the eastern end of the Three Gorges, and the fish belly city is located at the west end of the Three Gorges.

The potter had received information in advance that the defender of the fish belly city was the second general of Yang Huai Gaopei, and there were 5,000 elite soldiers under his command.

With the strength of those two generals, with only 5,000 soldiers and horses, of course, they could not stop the army of pottery merchants from crossing the Three Gorges and entering the city of Yuyu.

Now the goal of the potters is not to cross the Three Gorges, but how to capture this fish belly city and open the door to Shu as quickly as possible, before the Goujian army returns.

Otherwise, if the army could not attack the city and drag on for a long time, the shocked Gou Jian led the main army to rush to the fish belly city in time.

"How can you break through the belly of a fish quickly......" The potter stared at the map, silent.

At this time, Su Qin said: "The minister went to Chengdu, when he passed through the belly of the fish, he had seen these two people, although these two generals were called famous generals in Shu, but they were both mediocre but arrogant people, if they could lure the two of them out of the city to punish them, this fish belly city will be destroyed without a fight." ”

"Lure out of the city and be killed, what kind of lure?" The potter's eyes lit up, and in his mind, what plan was already brewing.

After a moment of silence, a treacherous sneer passed through the potter's eyes, and he already had an idea.

At that moment, the potter pulled everyone back, but summoned Zhuge Jin to come.

After a while, Zhuge Jin hurriedly entered the account and arched his hand: "The ministers have visited the king, but I don't know what the king has to call the ministers to come." ”

The potter didn't speak first, the eagle eyes stared at him, and ordered with his mind: "System elf, scan Zhuge Jin's loyalty for me." ”

"Tick...... After the system was scanned, Zhuge Jin's loyalty was 0. ”

As expected, after such a long time, Zhuge Jin's loyalty is still unchanged.

This means that Zhuge Jin has never surrendered to him sincerely, but only surrendered on the surface, but his heart is wavering, and he will definitely rebel against him as long as he has the opportunity.

An imperceptible sneer tugged at the corner of the potter's mouth, which was exactly what he wanted.

At that moment, the potter smiled, hurriedly helped Zhuge Jin up, stroked his shoulder and said: "Ziyu, you also know that this king is going to conquer Shu now, and now you have a place to use again." ”

"Whatever the king commands, let it be to the ministers." Zhuge Jin was busy and gave up, looking like he wanted to go to the soup for the potter, and he didn't give up.

The pottery merchant raised his hand and pointed to the west, and said solemnly: "This king wants to destroy the Shu Kingdom, must first break the fish and recover, in order to gain time, this king will send you and Chen Qingzhi, lead 5,000 white-robed troops through the Three Gorges first, until the Yufu City, this king wants you to enter the city in person, with your three-inch tongue, to say that Yang Huai Gaopei two generals, you can have this confidence." ”

Hearing the potter's words, Zhuge Jin was stunned at first, and then a trace of imperceptible ecstasy flashed in his eyes, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness.

That trace of ecstasy flashed and was quickly suppressed by Zhuge Jin.

He immediately arched his hand and said solemnly: "The king can rest assured, Jin will live up to the king's trust, and he will definitely rely on his three-inch incorruptible tongue to say that he will descend to the second general of Yang Gao." ”

Seeing Zhuge Jin's confidence, the potter showed a look of relief, nodded with satisfaction: "Ziyu has this confidence, this king is relieved, without further ado, you should set off as soon as possible." ”

Zhuge Jin immediately expressed his determination again, and then he retreated.

Out of the big tent, Zhuge Jin hurried away, and when he saw that there was no one around, Fang Cai breathed a sigh of relief, and a sarcastic sneer flashed in his eyes.

"Tao thief, Tao thief, do you really think that my Zhuge Jin is really surrendering to you, you just pretend to surrender to you in order to keep your useful heart, but unfortunately you have no eyes, and you were finally deceived by me, and you even want me to say that the people of Shu are descended, you are really letting the tiger return to the mountain, hehe......"
